I have struggled with this for a while but recently was diagnosed with what they think is inattentive type ADHD. At first it was just anxiety but they want me to try a stimulant. I’ve been on it for only 4 days but I hate it already. The headaches are horrible, the crashes are horrible.
Long story short. I over analyze everything in my brain. And I mean EVERYTHING. I can be stuck in the same loop for days. But this has taken a toll on my relationship. My partner cannot handle my spirals. We have been struggling for a few years so I think now I have some emotional sadness from feeling alone because he just snaps at me for forgetting things, for not doing enough chores, for word vomit, for being negative. He does so much for us I know that, he’s a wonderful husband and we have a wonderful relationship. It’s just the communication and empathy that are struggling. The way he talks to me makes me feel so lonely sometimes.
He tells me that my stresses that my ruminating about things make him stressed out. And really all I want is just to be hugged and told it’s okay. But sometimes I forget to just ask for that when I’m spiraling. It’s so frustrating for me to be in this turmoil and not be able to express what I really need.
We are speaking to a therapist and I am also speaking to a therapist so definitely working on it and we are getting better in regard to a lot of communication.
First I have no clue if the medicine is supposed to make me feel horrible lol. So maybe that isn’t right?
And second I just was wondering if anyone has strategies to help with the word vomit, switching topics, and general over analyzing of situations?
